About Us

I fell in love with beer while travelling in Europe and started brewing my own beer when I returned. Somewhere in the middle of that I qualified as a chef and ended up working in the magazine industry. Brewing my own beer was tough at times; the internet was full of amazing resources for home brewers, but here in South Africa the options were limited. Waiting for stock to arrive from Jhb (or overseas) was annoying, costly, and the lack of options for ingredients was frustrating.

Fast forward a few years, and many many batches of beer later, and here we are, BeerLab has launched. This is hopefully the beginning of many great things. Thanks for the support.
